Ashley Manning’s team has won 3 in a row too

The Memphis Grizzlies, one of the two favorite NBA teams of the Denver Broncos (the Nuggets, of course, are the other), are on a roll.

Ashley Manning, wife of Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, was officially approved as a Grizzlies’ minority owner on Oct. 25, a few days before the start of the NBA regular season. Memphis is off to a 3-1 start having won three in a row.

The Grizzlies had an impressive road win Wednesday night in Milwaukee against the Bucks. Ashley attended the Grizzlies home opener on Monday, a 103-94 win against Utah. The previous day, her husband was in Cincinnati lifting the Broncos to their third consecutive win against the Bengals.
